I think this time I did find Pale Stagshorn - Calocera pallidospathulata (while playing hide and seek with the girls in the woods! :D) I really like this text from first-nature.com! : "Calo- means beautiful, while the extension -cera comes from ancient Greek and means 'like wax', so that the genus name Calocera translates to 'beautiful and waxy' - and that accurately describes the form of Calocera pallidospathulata. Just as it sounds, the specific epithet pallidospathulata means pale (pallid-) and spathulate (= spatulate) meaning shaped like a spatula - a broad, flat flexible blade used to mix food and other substances." #palestagshorn #calocerapallidospathulata #fungilove #ukfungi #ukfunga #uknature #derbyshirewildlife #fascinatingfungi #natureenthusiast #fungifinds #happyinthewoods #naturetherapy🌿
